Recipe View 1 hrs Bring the stew back to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

For a deeper, smokier flavor, consider browning the salt pork in the pot before adding the chicken and water.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the stew, such as okra, green beans, or carrots. Add them along with the potatoes and onions.
If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot towards the end of the cooking time.
Brunswick Stew is even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I made this for a potluck, and it was the first dish to disappear! Everyone raved about it. I used chicken broth instead of water, and it added a wonderful depth of flavor.

  • Caterina Rutherford

    This stew is amazing! The flavors are so rich and comforting. I added a little bit of smoked paprika for an extra layer of smokiness, and it was a hit!
